Another way to look at this is, it allows patent holders to not worry about suing everybody
who infringes, but only those who succeed sufficiently to be worth suing. That's no advantage
to those who get sued, but a big advantage to those who don't (as compared to trademark, where
thousands of cease-and-desist letters every year go out to mom-and-pop sotes and websites that
choose their names poorly).
